We really ought to go all in on some player there is no way would get rumored about and see if it takes.

Wait maybe that's the jose de leon thread. Hmmm...maybe Petit. Realistic yet not mentioned a lot.

Cishek catching up on soxtalk

 

Some of these Tweets literally feel like they come minutes after a related SoxTalk post.

Even though we are lapping up our own takes regurgitated back to us from a huckster...

Gotta say they taste good and I want more.

I think with enough of a semi-coordinated effort we could totally accomplish that.

 

Well, this is about as vague as you can get while covering your own ass

Surprised no one posted this yet. Recent history has proven that when Stone says something, it is true.

Hendriks + Richards would be my guess

That’s the #1 insider on Twitter lol. You can take it to the bank. I’m going to guess Hendriks and Snell! He used the word splash.

Yeah Richards wouldn’t be much of a splash, but he’d be a perfect #4 starter for us.  Just can’t see us doing another big trade now that RF is filled.  Plus I really think they want to extend Lynn, so I can’t see us adding another starter to a multi-year commitment.  They’ll want to have two openings in the 2022 rotation for Kopech, Cease, Crochet, & Stiever.

If Stiever isn't sitting around 94 mph+ this year in the minors, then idk if he's a prospect anymore. 

I think they want to extend Lynn too, which would make the loss of Dunning more palatable. 

The huge thing is if they can get Giolito locked up.....if there's something that would count as a "splash" I think that's it. 

Give it to me.

I think he’s just using the term splash because that’s what was mentioned in the question, not because of some earth-shattering acquisition.

I’m not going to panic over how Stiever looked in a pandemic ridden season, but I do agree he needs to show more next year.

Extending Giolito needs to be one of our priorities, but my guess is if it happens it’s during spring training.  I think a Lynn extension is more likely to happen this winter.

I still think it means he feels the move or moves would be of some substance or his answer would have simply been no.

Quintana > Richards

I think Quintana gets a two year deal from someone and it won’t be us.

The optimistic side of me will guess Hendriks + Quintana. La Stella would be nice too.

Yeah, it's so easy to see these guys are complete frauds. He stole it from Steve Stone, anyway

Stone twitted a reply dec.13 to the question what do you think are the odds Sox will make a bigger move than Eaton and Lynn for Christmas? “They are trying to get everybody you want.” Sorry can’t embed

The splash could be an extension of LG or LL or both.

Hendriks makes so much sense. Need to get it done. We all need that holiday gift.
